London pub stuff?

Just a quick (!) query for all the London and otherwise 'lithers.

Where's a decent pub that's meet-sized, offers good, cheap food, and is somewhere inside zone 1-2? Good beer a definite plus.

Why am I asking? All will become clear. But I need to know kinda quickly, as the 23rd is comin' up. Keep it free, mayhap.

At the risk of sounding obvious, the jorene celeste?

I think that's the fall-back pub. And everyone knows where it is. But any other thoughts?

You're just doing this to seem interesting...

And dangnammit, it's working!

What are you on about?

Already talked about this a bit, but my suggestions are:

Princess Louise (not too sure about the food here, mind)
Marquess of Anglesey (likely to be crowded on a Saturday as it is in Covt Garden, but it certainly does reasonable food)
Ha Ha's, Great Titchfield Street - there's a branch of this in Muswell Hill, so I know the food is OK - and it's big (but looks a bit like a chain pub - which it is, but a chain of two doesn't count so much...)

Or... there's Jerusalem (Rathbone Place) which is a decent underground bar, serves nice food, and they often have some sort of deal on.

But most of these options are on the middling side as far as price goes.

Then there's the Spitz/Brick Lane axis, which I know much less about...

Rothkoid, I am mostly off board at the moment due to not working and the corresponding distinct lack of funds.

Can you contact me by text/mobile to keep me up to date just in case I can't get here often enough.

See you there!

Has anyone actually eaten at the Princess Louise?

Yes. I seem to remember it being good, but then I was extremely hungry at the time.

Oh dear. The 23rd is my birthday and I won't be able to come - and it all sounds so intriguing!
I've only eaten chips at the PL but Sam Smith pubs tend to serve ok, fairly plain pub fare - you know, baked potatoes, lasagne and fish and chips.

Oh dear - not really intriguing - see the other thread...

What a fabulously invisible date for a birthday. How old this time, Ari? 21? 22?

yeah, round about there.

Happy Birthday, Ariadne!

Does anyone remember serving times for the Jorene Celeste or the Princess Louise? Let's face it - that's probably where we're gonna end up...
